Character: Hugh Brightwater

Though more a historical character, if you choose to roleplay in the time right after Peter becomes High King, Hugh might become important to your campaign.

Hugh was a gawky boy and no one ever thought he would make a thing of his life. He shirked work whenever possible and found fun in making fun of others. But he was always loyal to Peter. So when his friends left Stormvale, so did he. Always loving to dream of the sea, he was happy when he was able to make a House near the sea though he'd never seen it before then.

Hugh was human and was 62 years old when he died. He was six foot tall, a scrawny 170 lbs and lanky like no Knight would ever be. His face was oval and narrow, almost bony. Even when he was old he had freckles which stood out on his pale skin. His eyes were small and dark blue. He always kept his brown hair cropped short otherwise they become an unruly mess of curls.

Hugh always wears dun colored pants and tunic which were always rumpled. Even when he was a leader, his clothes were rumpled. He speaks fast, with deep gasping breaths between words. He tries to appear as every one's friend, but just wanted to get others to work for him. When he became a Leader he did work hard, but there was always that need to be a slacker on occasion.

Hugh is also a gambling, a good one at that, which got him into a lot of trouble when he was young. For your campaign you might be able to get him into a good gambling game where he loses on purpose because he likes the PC's or he wins to get the characters to do something he wants them to do.
Tomorrow: Upscale housing in Bloodhelm
